True that, but I don't remember it ever being this bad. IMO, it's to the detriment of the country. You would think that every once in a blue moon, the current administration would come up with a good idea that the opposing party would agree with.
Good point, true that!:yelwink2: Its funny that even when positive things happen such as the terrorists confession that they were responsible for killing Americans that there still is no positives. Oh wait, that is the party who wants to close Gitmo and release the enemy. I don't know which side they are on?
I actually agree 100 percent. About the confession, I don't know? All I know is the Democrats want to give Gitmo terrorists rights of Americans including lawyers while closing down the place.
Sure you do. It seemed to all start in 1992. Certain republicans were just livid with Clinton and instigated the whole Whitewater and Monicagate investigations followede by an impeachment in trying to overturn the results of two national elections. The democrats in Congress were then stifled during the Bush first 6 years and critics were treated like they were traitors, personally disloyal to the emperor. It was if they never dreamed that there might be some payback some day. They bythly assumed that the republicans would stay in power forever, I guess. There is always payback in politics, its part of the normal checks and balances. The Democrats won't even have to stoop to investigation of personal finances or or private misbehavior. Bush's own series of official blunders overwhelm all petty failings. The Dems only have to put a spotlight on it, which they are doing. They are just too far apart and see each other as the enemy instead of the loyal opposition and important ally in foreign policy. The extreme polarity of the parties is the main problem today. The Democrats are too far to the left and the Republicans are too far to the right. There is a political vaccum in the middle, which is where much of America lies. The best solution would be the advent of a moderate third party. Of course the winner-takes-all electoral college system effectively precludes the emergence of any third party. Perhaps all we can reasonably hope for is for one party or the other to abandon its radical elements and move to the center. Such a party might be truly representative of the majority of the country. That could happen someday, vacuums suck. In 2008 both parties are going to leaning to the middle but both still must deal with the radical left and right elements among them.
